Here's the official release from the White House, and apparently, we're in a state "of rebellion". 😒

Fellow Californians, you know the drill. Every one of us should be speed dialing:

- Our federal electeds
- Our state electeds
- Newsom
- And Bonta right now.

Pope Francis: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves, or who come from distant lands, bringing unfamiliar customs, ways of life and ideas! For all of us are children of God!"

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Love this. We need everyone who is crazy good at poking holes in Trump via the Internet to work overtime

Are you paying ATTENTION, yet? 👇

Well, are you?!

Impeach Trump

Stock up on dried beans, lentils, pasta, rice, flour, sugar, seeds, & canned goods. Do it before it’s too expensive or shelves are bare. When I started my food storage over a month ago, people told me I was overreacting. If I’m wrong I’ll eat my food & words. If I’m right, I’ll eat my food. ☯️⚖️🌱🥫

Happened to me more than once…

Every woman preacher you know has had some ignorant mess of a man call her a SO-CALLED PASTOR when she said something he didn’t like. The response of the new potus to @mariannedgarbudde.bsky.social is so sad and predictable. Praying for her safety and for the church she serves. Rave on, sister.

A stained glass representation of Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. The text reads "Be merciful to the stranger For we were all once strangers in this land"

The gospel according to Saint Mariann

I am encouraged by Rev Budde’s sermon. Sunday calls for courage for those of us still preaching. Especially to congregations like mine that have a strong variety of political opinions. Please keep all pastors who are trying to speak truth to power, however inadequate it feels, in prayer.

Do you even feel comfortable buying fresh produce now?
